How do I reset my Firefox to open on to a Google home page?

When I click Firefox a web page named Kiva pops up instead of Google, which I had set. How can I get rid of this Kiva home page and reset my homepage to start on Google ?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I lost the Firefox icon on my desk top and updated Firefox

Firefox android opens to about.config as home page. unable to set new home page

firefox android always opens new tab or browser session on about:config page.
I've restarted browser and tablet(Samsung Galaxy Tab 3), and this behavior still persists.
All google searches suggest that the firefox android browser home page cannot be changed but this is obviously not true.
I've tried solutions that suggest navigating to about:home and modifying bookmarks and these paths do not work.
The awesome bar is far from awesome!!!!!!
How do I stop the browser from starting at about:config and how can I make the home page be what I want?

In the about:config page entry on the desktop there is a homepage entry, but does not show up on my android, odd.
Try this > Settings > Customize > Home
Change setting here and open a new tab to see if changes are made.
Also check the about:addons page to see if you have any homepage add ons that has saved the about:config page as the home page.
Looking forward to your reply!

Regardless of settings, Firefox 4 opens previous tabs instead of home page.

Firefox 4 ignores setting under options to open home page, and always opens tabs from previous session.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly. Otherwise Firefox may try to reopen a crashed session.

Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". <br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.

I'm using Premiere Elements 11, which automatically opens in a project window for HD. I want to reset the default for SD. How can I reset the defaul for opening a project?

For Premiere Elements 11 and 12, you cannot change its default project preset from NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 or its PAL counterpart PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25 to something else.
For each project, you can set the project preset manually if you do not want the program to take over setting the project preset based
on the properties of the first drag to the Timeline.
To set the project preset manually, open the project to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings.
In the Change Settings area, change the project preset. Before you exit that area, be sure to have a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in the new project dialog.
Then you import your source media, using the appropriate Add Media choice.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
If you want a version of Premiere Elements that uses the default project preset of NTSC DV Standard or its PAL counterpart PAL DV Standard, then you need to look to a version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
Please let me know if you have any further questions on this or need clarification.
Thank you.

Just installed Firefox 9.0.1. When opening a new browser session, two tabs will open. One is my home page and the other is a Firefox welcome page. I just want my homepage to open. How do I achieve this? Thanks.

How do I set my home page to my personal google home page without having to enter my id and password whenever I open firefox.

safari allows my personal google home page to be opened as home page without entering id or password. I would like firefox to do the same.

I thought that was an Add-on (extension) have you looked through your Tools->Addons to see if you can find it?
I think it's this one.

When I open a second tab in Firefox, it does not go to my home page. Instead it goes to a page that displays what looks like a collection of pages (or links) that I have visited in the recent or distant past. I would much rather have it go to my home page which is much more useful to me. I have tried to change this in 'Options' but with no luck. Please fix this.

Firefox will not open Google Home page at start up

When I start up Firefox browser my Google home page does not appear.

Have you checked to ensure Google is still set as the home page? See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
On the same part of the preferences dialog that you set the home page, make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".

Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide

When I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but just shows the home page, not the page I clicked for

When I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but only shows the home page(s) not the page of the link

I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
How to to this?
Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
(for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.
Greetz,
Kenny

Firefox locks up on demand.five.tv home page

Firefox locks up on demand.five.tv home page as it tries to download/play something. Task manager shows two sites open.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://demand.five.tv

Firefox always launches with three tabs -- my home page, a month old site from Slate and Huffington Post. Even uninstalling and reintalling doesnt solve problem.

Every time Firefox is launched, it opens with three tabs -- my home page, a month-old age from the slate website and the home page from the huffington post. EVERYTIME. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and the problem persists.
